Punta Maldonado (also known as El Faro on account of the nearby lighthouse)[3] is a small coastal community in the Mexican state of Guerrero.[4] Previously located in the municipality of Cuajinicuilapa, it became part of the new municipality of San Nicolás upon its creation in 2021.[5]
It is notable for its Afro-Mexican population.[4] The local economy is centred on fishing, particularly for lobster.[6] The beach is also an attractive tourist destination.[4]
Located about one kilometre from the state border between Guerrero and Oaxaca, it is frequently used as a breakpoint by Mexico's Servicio Meteorológico Nacional and the U.S. National Hurricane Center.[7][8]
